However, they have a plan to bring the silver screen back to the town.
Limelight Cinema closed in October due to the owner's illness.
The two women are now determined to get a dedicated cinema back up and running and, although in the early stages of planning, had made positive progress so far, Mrs Rohrbach said.
''At this stage, we are 90% sure it will happen.
''The main things we have been dealing with is where it could be and how it could be set up, as in do you have one screen, do you have two screens, or do you have three screens.''
They had identified three possible locations, which did not include the former Limelight Cinema building in Thames St or the Elim Church building in Severn St, the past home of the Majestic Theatre.
Mrs Rohrbach would not reveal where those locations were but said two were considered ''realistic'' short-term opening options.
''We feel like it would be beneficial for the wider community if we could realise it sooner rather than later.''
They also hoped to establish their activity as a charitable trust, which would allow them to apply for funding grants.
That meant community involvement needed to happen, she said.
''We see ourselves as the initiators, really. We'll need a lot of people with different abilities and different scopes of professionalism to help and run it every day.''
Sourcing equipment had also been investigated and was at the point where it was a ''question of having sufficient funds to buy the right equipment for the space''.
The two women were driven by something most could relate to.
''We share a love for cinema,'' Mrs Rohrbach said.
''We were both equally disappointed that we didn't have one and I think that's something that unites a lot of people who live here. They all feel it's a shame we don't have a cinema any more.''
Ms Riley-Duddin said she was not prepared to sit back and watch.
''I honestly thought the cinema would come back at some point. It's the kind of thing people talk about but no-one actually does it. Dagmar and I felt we were the kind of people who would like to see it through.''
